Do you count entries to elevators / lifts / stairs / fitting rooms?
Yes — wherever a camera has a clear view of an internal entry point we can draw an entry line. Lifts, stairs and fitting rooms are common candidates for tracking inter-floor traffic and trial-room engagement.

What you can measure
- Stairs and escalators — inter-floor traffic counts. Useful for multi-storey stores, shopping centres and transport hubs to see how customers move between levels.
- Lifts — entry counts in and out of the lift on each floor.
- Fitting rooms — visits per fitting-room cluster, dwell time per visit, demographic split of who’s trying things on. A powerful proxy for purchase intent.
- Internal department boundaries — virtual gates between zones if you want to track flow rather than dwell.
What’s needed
A camera with line-of-sight on the entry point and a clear pedestrian path through the view. The 2-second rule applies just like at the main store entrance — quick passes through aren’t counted.
Example
The image below shows an entry line set up to count customers using the stairs and the lift into the shop floor:
